'The Yep! Project has helped transform my son's life'

Four years ago, their 20-year-old son experienced a breakdown at school that left him feeling lost and unsure about his future. Despite his impressive skills in computing and programming, he struggled to find his way forward.

Then they met Julie......

Julie Tully EBP - Yep! Team

Through the YEP program, Julie connected with their son and offered unwavering kindness, patience, and empathy. She helped him build confidence, tackle everyday tasks, and even encouraged him to volunteer as a gardener – something they never thought he'd do!

With Julie's guidance, their son rediscovered his passion for technology. She helped him prepare for an interview, negotiate reasonable adjustments with an employer, and land an internship within just five months! Seeing him thrive in this role, sharing his knowledge and humour with colleagues, filled them with joy and gratitude.

'Julie's support has been truly transformative'.

Sadly, resources for young people facing mental health challenges in Cornwall are scarce. They spent years on waiting lists, feeling helpless. Funding for dedicated support like Julie's is vital, and they're eager to help in any way they can to ensure other families experience the same positive impact.

Yep! Is a partnership of 11 organisations across Cornwall that can support young people with their next steps, who are:
· Age 16-24
· Living in Cornwall or the IoS
· Not in employment, education, or training
· Struggling in education age 16+
